The GK107 Kepler core offers two shader blocks, called SMX, each with 192 shaders for a total of 384 shader cores that are clocked at the same speed as the central core.

The Kepler architecture is the successor to the Fermi architecture that first appeared in laptops with the GeForce 400M series. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better than GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications. The Quadro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. The Quadro K1000M is built for the Intel Chief River generation (Ivy Bridge) and is the successor to the Fermi-based Quadro 1000M (Huron River platform). Compared to the K2000M, the K1000M only features 192 shader cores of 384. It is a Kepler-based GPU built on the GK107 architecture and is manufactured in 28nm at TSMC.


The NVIDIA Quadro K1000M (or Quadro K1100M, due to the internal code name 1100M) is a mid-range, DirectX 11.1-compatible graphics card for mobile workstations.
